Abstract: An ambient light color sensing device adapted to determine color of ambient light and method for calibrating thereof. The ambient light color sensing device comprises a memory, a processor, and a light color sensor having a plurality of channels that detect light at different wavelengths to produce sensor readings. Wherein the processor receives sensor readings from the light color sensor, determines an interpolated spectral power distribution from the received sensor readings, converts the interpolated spectral power distribution to at least one measured light color value that quantifies color of light, and determines at least one calibrated light color value by correlating the at least one measured light color value through a calibration matrix.

Abstract: A color temperature sensor assembly comprising a sensor body, a substantially dome shaped diffuser extending through an opening in the sensor body, a substantially flat diffuser disposed within the sensor body below the first diffuser, and a color temperature sensing module disposed below the flat diffuser and adapted to detect a color temperature of light collected by the dome shaped diffuser and the flat diffuser. The shape of the dome diffuser helps capture light from all angles to bring in more light to the sensor and provide more accurate readings. The secondary flat diffuser is adapted to further diffuse the light to reduce light concentration and prevent inaccurate readings. The color temperature readings from the color temperature sensor assembly may be used to control at least one lighting load.

Abstract: A method and an ambient light color sensor adapted to determine color of ambient light comprising a memory, a processor, and a light color sensor with a plurality of channels that detect light at different wavelengths. Wherein the memory comprises a calibration matrix determined by calibrating a test light color sensing device under at least one ambient lighting condition, and a normalized gain value for each channel determined by calibrating the ambient light color sensing device to an artificial light source. Wherein the processor receives the sensor readings from the light color sensor, normalizes each received sensor reading using the normalized gain value of a respective channel, determines at least one measured light color value that quantifies color of light from the normalized sensor readings, and determines at least one calibrated light color value by correlating the at least one measured light color value through the calibration matrix.

The light color sensing module comprises a plurality of channels adapted to detect light collected by the at least one diffuser at different wavelengths to produce sensor readings. The ambient color sensor is adapted to measure color of ambient light by storing a calibration matrix determined by calibrating a test light color sensor to a test ambient light source, receive the sensor readings from the light color sensing module, determine an interpolated spectral power distribution from the received sensor readings, convert the interpolated spectral power distribution to at least one measured light color value that quantifies color of light, and determine at least one calibrated light color value by correlating the at least one measured light color value through the calibration matrix. The sensor readings received from the ambient light color sensor and test sensor readings received from the test light color sensor during calibration thereof may be normalized by calibrating the ambient light color sensor and the test light color sensor to an artificial light source.
